So Rockhold really did take 100k of Romero's money to take the fight. So I guess he won after all.

And why the fuck is Ross Pearson getting paid 100k to spar, lol.

And as usual, Mark Hunt cashes out again.

 

[Gangstub]

I kind of feel like a few of the salaries are off. Like Adesanya. He could make more than 10k fighting in China. But I don't blame SD for that. It's hard to calculate someone new on the roster's show money since they never fought.

 

[Touch of Death]

Rockhold making that big Reebok money...

 

[007]

Hunt isn't worth $750

 

[CMNSPWR]

Hunt is making out well.
He ain't gonna sniff that kinda money when he leaves the ufc.

 

[Credo]

That Mark Hunt contract

 

[TheWobbler]

Stipe the actual champ is on 600k yet journeyman hunt is almost 200k higher. Thats embarrassing.

 

[Mr hanky]

So 23k is the "good contract" Blaydes was talking about? In a most needing talent division?

Ishihara who is mediocre in a stacked division got the same money. Blaydes wake up.

Also: Nice that Ishihara got win bonus for fight he lost. props to him for that.

 

[Franc Mittelo]

Blaydes only made U$51K, and the guy he rag dolled made U$765K. LOL

The UFC needs to find a way to make sure that the guy who wins the fight, always ends up with more money than the loser. Or else, all this is, is WWE without the scripted endings (as far as we can tell).

 

[PalmStrike]

lol

stun gun making chit after 10 years in the UFC...

 

[CasterMard]

Israel got that 60 G's bonus

 

[Dee Devlin]

Speaking as a Luke fan, he would probably happily spend $100k to reverse the long-term damage incurred that night. I'm sure any fighter in his position would.

 

[latoya johnson]

Hunt isn't worth $750

Hunt may be old af, but in Austrailia, he is worth that. He increases ticket revenue regardless.

 

[adifighter86]

UFC salary is awesome

 

[Mr hanky]

lol

stun gun making chit after 10 years in the UFC...

this is not the Kim you are thinking about. This one was "maestro"

 

[MadHouse]

Hunt has to be the world's most expensive punching bag at this point

 

[007]

Hunt may be old af, but in Austrailia, he is worth that. He increases ticket revenue regardless.

That's true but he is leaving UFC anyways. I see Rizin in his future

 

[Lifeform]

These fucking guys are rich!

Hunt nearly made 3/4 million dollars to get thrown all over the cage - this is cage fighting guys not trans-atlantic yacht racing, i think the fighters get paid well for what the sport is.

[Flokk]

Jesus.

Reebok $$$.

The UFC should be utterly fucking ashamed of itself.

 

[Les Vejtibals]

They shouldn't publicize how much Reebok money each fighter gets.

It's pathetic.

Condom Depot and Callahan Brake pads of Sandusky Ohio would pay way more than that.
